Hi swami,
I suggest you change the following:
| Quote: |
| One of my close relative has been admitted in a hospital |
. to:
One of my close relatives has been admitted to hospital.

Sure I am not Alan, but I think the right sentence is 'Burj dubai has one thousand and forty four apartments'. Hope dear Alan corrects me if I am worng.

Hi,
I presume the question is about 'is having' or 'has/have'. There is no need to use the present continuous (having) here because 'has/have' already suggests 'continuousness' in the very meaning of the verb. Therefore Mixmixi is quite right.
